Thomas was wanted on two warrants for manufacturing and delivery of a controlled substance, evading arrest, two city warrants and a warrant for manufacturing and delivering a simulated controlled substance, according to the release. Three of the warrants totaled $30,000 and two were issued with no bond, according the release.

"This incident is an excellent example of the type of citizen involvement that we need to combat crime in our community," the release read. "This citizen's action directly led to the removal of a drug dealer from the streets."
